“Remember high school? It's gotten worse.”
Documentary
A documentary on seniors at a high school in a small Indiana town and their various cliques.
VIBE
It feels like a time capsule of high school anxieties and aspirations. Captures the universal awkwardness of adolescence with an unflinching, observational gaze. A raw, nostalgic look at navigating social circles and finding yourself.
